This workshop, which takes place over three days, is intended for trans* people, but open to all people, with or without an artistic background, who are interested in exploring the notion of identity and fluid states of the body.

How to historicize and transpose our experiences? In a first stage, we will resort to processes of internalization and rediscovery. And then transform our memory into movement – of the body, of words, of objects – while deconstructing and restructuring who we are. A safe space will be provided where each person can share and/or listen to different experiences, elaborate their life story and transcribe it into an artistic contribution using materials and materialities.

NECESSARY MATERIAL:

It is advised that each participant bring with them a symbolic object that represents them, as well as attire in which they feel comfortable and confident.
